Current events discussion

The past IS the past. You are stuck in it. You can't focus on anything but that event. It's pretty sad.

To much of the left, J6 is an excuse to justify all sorts of bad behavior going forward.

Did see the videos of people throwing stuff at police? Missed the videos of people throwing stuff at police cars? Must be the Youtube algorithm.

The riot gear wearing police, shooting protesters with tear gas and rubber bullets must have been absolutely terrified.

Hmmm, the guy who keeps crying that I make untrue claims about him has made yet ANOTHER untrue claimn about me.
Care to show us where I claimed the LA riots didn't happen?

It's not enough to say that riots happened in LA. The right wingers and their propaganda media desperately want to make them out to be way worse than they actually were.....so they can claim that the Trump gestapo is warranted. Also helps to distract from the fact that the Trump rioters who were actually assaulting police officers on his behalf were pardoned for THEIR rioting and assaults. Law and order. Except when it comes to the wannabe dictator and his goons.

You would prefer they wore regular clothes so that they sustained injuries and or death from being attacked?

Just so the thread understands... StockcarKid is completely ignoring that rubber bullets and tear gas are in response to Bottles, Rocks, Bricks, Tools, Molotov Cocktails, and other potentially deadly items being hurled at police.

Play down the violence when apposing Trump and play that shit way up to no end when blaming Trump.

Probably not. Are you suggesting that law enforcement should be in fear of their lives before using less that lethal methods to disperse crowds?

Actually, this has done the exact opposite of distract from the pardons; it’s actually put those pardons in the spotlight.

All of this propaganda from the guy who has yet to acknowledge the Trump rioters physically attacking capitol police.

Has it? Pardoning the January 6th rioters was a story before Trump went full fascist. Fact is that mobilizing troops to LA has been nothing more than intimidation. And at a cost of over 100 million dollars.....which absolutely dwarfs the amount of damage done in the city. But hey.....got to put on a show.

So if I acknowledge that rioters physically attacked capitol police then you will what? Change your whole stance on current events?

I bet if he pardoned a buddy of yours you would suddenly be fine with it.

Forget that Trump administration is fascist? That's actually separate from the fact that Trump doesn't actually care about law and order. His pardons of January 6th rioters....as well as pardons for family members of people who openly bribe him are pretty strong proof.
